I got yer back K.
As do I.
I like Titans Return Voyager Megatron quite a bit. He's easily replaced Takara Tomy's Transformers United Voyager Megatron (redecoed from his Henkei Henkei release), despite the fact that he sorely needs a nice coat of silver paint and some actual paint details in place of the crummy foil stickers. The silhouette just SELLS this thing. It's a very good "Classics" take on Megatron, giving him a very G1 robot silhouette with some smart updating, particularly for his two alt modes, which are his two most common "not a gun" alt modes over the past 30+ years. I don't get the "out of proportion" claims for this figure either. It looks right to me. The transformation is fun, even if the legs are REALLY hard to peg in right the first few times.
I'm really hoping Takara takes a stab at him and doesn't just call the mold "done" when they eventually release Blitzwing. If they're willing to at least give RiD Scourge a "Legends EX" release, while presumably Octane will get a mainline Legends release, maybe they'll be willing to double dip on the Megawing/Blitzatron mold in some way. The one caveat, of course, is that if they go the EX route for the Megatron version of the mold, they might not give him the G1 deco I want, opting instead for something more exotic, like his G2 green and purple tank color scheme. For the time being, at least, I'm happy with Hasbro's version, in spite of its flaws.
